Surgical Pathology Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA

Pathologist at ACL Laboratories/Great Lakes Pathology, West Allis, WI

"In order to gain subspecialty knowledge in any field of medicine, a high case volume is critical. Mayo Clinic provided a wide spectrum of cases and benefit from the expertise of the laboratory staff and consultants. The large case volume and sophisticated laboratory test menu also allow for ample availability of research opportunities.  These circumstances are reflected in the famous "Three Shields" of Mayo Clinic - clinical practice, education and research. I have found that the hematopathology fellowship at Mayo fully lives up to its aspirational mission and goals. The support on all levels is phenomenal and allows you to focus on your training."

"I have most enjoyed the unparalleled clinical training, education and research opportunities that are available to fellows at Mayo Clinic. The fellowship curriculum is intentionally focused on trainee education, providing a broad-based experience in all aspects of both clinical and anatomic hematopathology.  The breadth of the cases and the diverse faculty, who are enthusiastically engaged in teaching, are unique attributes of the program that trainee will not find elsewhere. I was extremely grateful for the immense opportunity afforded to me to be part of the program."

“I received an opportunity to come to Mayo Clinic initially as a research fellow in hematology. The collaborative and collegial environment coupled with exposure to a wide variety of cases and the ability to do research on rare diseases enabled me to choose Mayo pathology for both my residency and fellowship. Working with a diverse group of faculty every day was truly inspiring and enhanced the educational value of my training.”

2022 graduate and current staff at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama.

“I expected to spend a year in a small town with few activities when I relocated to Rochester from New York City. But I was surprised and delighted by its vibe and activities. Rochester is a hidden gem, to say the least. The people were really pleasant and caring, and I can't recall a single day when I couldn't find something to do, a new restaurant to try, or an event to attend. The town buzzed with Rochesterians and visitors in the restaurants and parks during the summer. Hiking and stargazing were particularly enjoyable in the autumn. Even though it's cold in the winter, there was always a winter event to attend, such as ice skating or a concert at Mayo Civic Center.”

2022 graduate and current Transfusion Medicine/Blood Banking fellow at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

“I had a great experience living in Rochester. Especially with COVID, it became a very different and a new experience. It is a small town with a lot of things to do, be it outdoors or indoors. It is a good place to raise the kids too, plenty of opportunity. Some of the biggest plus points about Rochester is the safety of the town and the cleanliness. I enjoyed the natural beauty of this place and made some really good friends.”

2021 graduate and current staff at Clin-Path Associates in Phoenix, Arizona.

“Rochester provides a very peaceful and convenient lifestyle which makes it easier to focus on work without struggling with the daily obstacles. I live within two blocks from the Hilton Building, where the hematopathology department is located, so I can walk to work in less than ten minutes daily! It is a great place for people who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and biking, with plenty of parks and trails. Rochester also has an international airport that is very accessible and offers easy travel without having to drive to a big city.”

2021 graduate and current staff at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts.

“Rochester is such a pleasant blend of world-class medicine and a small-town environment. Life is simple; I walk to work, and believe it or not, I don’t miss being stuck in traffic. My wife and I are able to own a house, find a great work-life balance, and are able to enjoy more metropolitan activities in the nearby Twin Cities almost weekly. It’s pretty special to see a one-in-a-million diagnosis on a daily basis and always see a friend or colleague on trips to the grocery store.”

2020 graduate and current staff at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

“The Division of Hematopathology at Mayo Clinic is a large group with specialists in all aspects of hematopathology. The breath of expertise, along with the large consultative volume through Mayo Clinic Laboratories, was especially attractive to me for a one-year fellowship due to the enriching and challenging cases diagnosed here.”

2020 graduate and current staff at University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
